SURREY—Jura; 17. - • Although the polling, th;:, day , hail not been do brisk as yester day. yet there does MA appear to be any abatement in the interest which evidently very generally, felt in favour of Mr. Patlmer.

The Sulatrr announced that M. Sumner was 60 hoarse, he was unable to addrese the Meeting, but that his son Ivould do so. Mr. Sumnita,jun, then said, Gentlemen, my father's exhaustion deprives him of the pleasure of addressing you. His voice is broken, but his spirit is not and he hopes all his friends tend on Monday, as he means to persevere to the last moment.— The Court then adjourned. RESIGNATION OF Mr. HOLME SUMNER.

The contest for Strirey has terminated moat abruptly. ai,a , the close of the poll on Saturday evening, Mr. Sumner, jun , on the part of his father, declared it ,to he his determination to keep the tomcat open whilet freeholder remained unpolled ; the determi nation was, however, of too oontinuance, and prudence took the ,litre of rashness. On that night, a meeting of Mr. Sumner's friends was held at Epsom, at Which It was resolved, to advise that Gentlemen to discontinue, the contest. He imMediattly, on being made acgiminted with , their opinion, complied with its propriety, and a letter stating he circumstance wits yeaterday rs ceived in town, by Mr. Litl!4, the agent to Mr. Pannier, from Messrs.MAWß and Carter, flor agents of Mr. Suniner . Bills announcing the circumstance were dispersed on the Surrey side of the Thames during yesterday afternoon: Great prepare *Mini are making for the chairing of 'Messrs.

It having been found extremely inconvenient to continue poll.' ng only one man at n time, it was determined that a separate hustings should he erected ; which being accordingly done, the pollingg commenced this morning at eight o'clock at both hustings, the old one being used for taking the vote* of persons residing within the.

As soon as the business of the day commenced, Eliettem, the barrister, who arrived early this morning, 'appeared on the part of Mr.' Denman, who, not being able to come down himself, bad sent by that Gentleman the following reply to a letter informing - him of his nomination " To the Independent Electors of Leicester.

He has given several of his second votes to Captain Barrie to-day. It is most certain he cannot come in. He is sinking lower on-the poll every day It is equally clear he intends to dispute the validity of the election, by petition to the House of Commons. The two other new candidates are running a neck and neck race of it ; no body can tell which will win, the Tory (Barrie), or. the Reforther (Wood). The aristocratic Whig, Stanley, comes in triumphantly on the support of all parties, 'Whigs, Tories, and Reformers, all except the Radicals—the universal suffrage Men. State of the Poll. Hon.

ROCHESTER, JUNE 17. - - - - - The election has just closed in favour of the Honourable Mr. Dundee!. and Mr. Bernal. General Armstrong has made a gallant stand, and although defeated, will leave behind him a very strong feeling in his favour. The conduct of the opposition, and particularly that of one of the leading gentlemen, who hitherto has affected the Ministerial party, but who, this election, mounts the opposite colour, have created a strong feeling of astonishment—we might, perhaps, more pro perly say, disgust. The chairing is about to take place. HUNTINGDON, Jujx 17. The contest was carried on throughout t'l►e day with conairdera, ble activity. .An attempt has been made to direct the "No Po pery" cry against Lord John Russell, on account of his vote on the Catholic. question, but apparently without effect, the mob not having once given utterance to that cry. Among other squibs with a view to this result, is a wood engraving, representing the burning of Bishop Hooper, and his friend nogere, ►n 1555. The following extract from the King's Address, on opening the Hanoverian States, is.also posted about :--- "The general professors of the Christian faith are to enjoy a perfect equality of civil and religious rights in the kingdom of Hanover ; the pre-eminence of a predominant and pre-eminent Muth is abandoned." Also, the following quotation from Mr. Canning's Speech, on the Catholic question : • " I cannot understand why human beings, all subjects of the same Sovereign, all inhabitants of the same soil, all mingling iu the various kindly offices of life, all professing the common creed 'of Christianity, should be excluded from the enjoyment of equal rights and privileges." • •. • - • • The polling was very equal throughout the. day, each of the candidates being alternately at the head of the poll. It is said Lord Milton and Lord Sondes have each of them subscribed 5,0001. towards defraying Lord John's expellee's. At a little before six o'clock hi the evening, the Shiftier came forward, and announced the state of therpoll as follows 811 I Rusteeil 771 Mandeville - FeHowes Lord Marznevat.e. advanced to address the crowd, but finding, from the noisy disposition of the mob, that it was impossible to obtain a quiet hearing, he contented himself with saying'. " Gen tlemen, I thank you. I always felt cure you would rally round me, and I trust on Monday you will renew your exertions, and place me still more in ittivance." .Mr. FELLOWEC also returned thanks. Lord JOHN Itos.aw, next advanced to address them, but such was the uproar kept up by the Purples and Scarlet. (the colours of Lord Mandeville and Mr. Fellowes) that scarcely a word could le heard. Mr. WELts, the attorney, nest came forward; hut, after many ineffectual attempts to address them, was compelled to retire, and the assemblage then broke up. A great proportion of the shouters were evidently drunk. The following handbill was circulated by the friendi of Lord John Russell, after the High Sheriff had declared the number*:— ' " Lord John Ritoll'i poll-Octits hAving examined thei'l ; hooks this evening, ,titer they retni tied .froni the hustings.- it ap peared to them the numbers wet e as tallow ,.-- Ilandovale - S 4 - '7104 Iffnsitell - 7651 "A cotniuunieation has howl made to the Sheriff, and he hat inriertaken to have the poll•booka re-examined, and the mistake, if any,. corrected at the opening of the poll on Monday.

COUNTY OF LANCASTER, A* ten o'clock the Court of Election was opened' in the Shire ITO. The Assessor, in the absence of the High Hsiliff, who was ndisposed; presided. Mr. Born floortroti proposed Mr. 131.ACKUURliE, and ML 3tesoel seconded the nomination.—Lord STawr tY was then pro. ►oaed by C.

Mr. BLACICRUAN it then addressed the electors.—Foi two Mid forty years he had:served them in Perlitunint, And though he was not so active as he had been at the age of 25,• still lie felt he had strength enough left to 'try.: hie constituents. Lord Svaatitv then stood forward, anti was partially cheered. Unlike his venerable colleague, he could not boast of services ren dered to this county in nine successive Parliaments, but still he could state before them thatint was.not mimed to public business. and not unacquainted with the interests of this his almost native county. The Noble Lord then explained the articles of his poll flea! creed. So anxious an admirer was he of .the advantages which the British Constitutiotepossessed Over all others, .that he wished to see it extended all over the , world. A well organised opposition he thought as necessary to the Constitution as an ad ministration, on the principle that men intrusted with power re quired to be narrowly watched. There was, however, a great (Hillman:is between a constitutional opposition and unprincipled faction. To the one he professed himself ettached—to the other, no consideration on earth could induce him to lend binwelf. —( Cheers. )--During a long course of years this. country had beet, agitated , .by.-whet were " called Tory and Whig parties. - A Tory was a person who originally professed a'hlind and passive obedience to al Ololute- power , The changes in the reigning fitnily,tkthio,otintrY had had much in finance upon these. two ,pitet. its, and his .(Lord 8 . 4) pr i va t e "Pi" nion was, that the safer course lay between these twit eailemeA, extremes; and that a' moderate Tory and nimeeeto Whig were the assns Ifrhad often &eked even highly.-gifted,Whigs, to define to him tlieir iprinciples,, hut ~O nnl4.

Mr. Nowci.t, then CAM forward, and was receieed with a tumult of applause, which lasted for several minutes. Upon the occasion on which he had the hotionr to address them he said, it was of course not to he expected that he could appeal to past con duct as an earnest of future exertions., To the future, therefore, he was •to call their attention, and his guarantee, was the fair fame which he 'hail brought with him out,of the bosom of private life to,the front of these h noting'. u...( Loaf! applause.)-All his inte rests—all his abilities, and all his talents were pledged to the .dischargeof his public duty. Thed in camps, it was , painful to him to address such an assembly as this, and he hoped they would extend their indulgence to him. (Cheers. )—Others might he more talented, but he would come into Parliament determined conscientiously end faithfully .to discharge his duty. He pledged himself to not hi ng —be meant to he independent. At present he should say no more but that,this was his first attempt in public, and he hoped that a majority of the freeholder* would deem him win thy of their confidence. Sir Tnostas Hamm said, that he rose under feelings of considerable embarrassment, as the circumstances under which he was to address this assembly were unprecedented in the annals of elections. Having at the last election declared his intention of standing for the county on some future occasion, he now felt him self called upon to repeat that declaration, and to state further, that he persisted in intending tooffer himself for so great an honour when, in the course of nature or other circumstances, the present candidates should withdraw. He concluded by recommending to Gentlemen to mark their sense of this opposition, by bringing their tenants to the poll free of cycle*. Mr. NOWJELL craved the indulgence of the Meeting for one moment, whilst he replied to some of the observations of the Hon. Baronet. The Hon. Baronet had charged him with conspiring, or at least concurring, with others to take the county by surprise. He told the Hon. Baronet he was incapable of an ungracious act, if he knew it to he such.,—(Loud cheers).—lt was not in his na ture, not in his blood, to do so. The fact was, that he had re ceived the requisition only this week, and in half an hour after ac cepting it hapublished hie address. It was impossible, under such circumstances, he could give more time. Sir THOMAS lIESKETH said, that if he had been betrayed into any expression imputing to the Honourable Gentleman dishonour able conduct, he was willing to explain it. Ile imputed no unfair motives to the Honourable Gentleman--.on the contrary, he had too much reason to know, from the friends with whom he was connected in this town, that he was incapable of such conduct.— (Cheers.) The Sheriff's Assessor then celled upon the friends of the re spective candidates to hold up their hands, when there appeared a decided majority in favour of Mr. Nowell. The Officer then declared Lord Stanley and Mr. Nowell duly elected, amid the loudest cheering. • Mr. HOGMTON demanded a poll for Mr. Blackburne, and stated that he would not leave the hustings till it was finished. The Sheriff's Assessor then stated that by law the poll might he proceeded in immediately or adjourned to the next day. As preparations had not been made, the Court was adjourned to ten o'clock to-morrow. The candidates were then asked whether they would put the long oath to the Catholics, and Lord Stanley and Mr. Nowell declared they would net enforce it. Mr. Blackburn. said he would give no pledge, but he would not require the oath to be put for the present. About three o'clock a declaration wits put forth, signed by Sir Thomas Hesketh and some other gentlemen, expressing their de termination to be ing up their tenants, free of expence, for Mr. Blackburne, to the poll. Communications were also made,,it was said, by that gentleman's Committee to theta Mr. Nowell, ap pealing to him, whether, without the least prospect of success, he would continue a contest which disturbed the peace of the county? It was ales said that Mr. Nowell's own Committee sent into him an estimate of a certain Wm of money which it would he necessary to have in hand before beginning the election. Which of these appeals carried with it the strongest conviction to the mind of the Hon. Gentleman it is hard to say, but certain it is that, in the course of the afternoon, a notice was posted up, stating that Mr. Nowell's Committee had advised him to strike his colours, which he did, shout four o'clock, to the no small dis may of the innkeepers and publicans of Lancaster. The two for mer Members will, of course,'be now returned. WESTMORELAND, Amii. 15. • The.doubta which were raised with respect. to a contest for this county are now in a great degree dissipated. Rumours had been for:aorhe days past induatricituily. propagated by the friends of laird Lowther that Ikle.-Brotighsan bad declined making the trial again with such fearful odds, and would never mine to the poll. These suggestions derived some plausibility from the absence of . Brougham from a scene, where, at such a critical time, the apk rits of his supporters wanted all the re-assuranCe which his pre sence could give to their cause, notwithstanding the unceasing ex ertions of his friends in his behalf. Things, however, took a new turn a day or two ago, and the announcement of his intention to visit the town of kendal on Thursday, elicited a general demon stration of attachment to his catise. At an early hour the town was Ailed with his staunch friends, wearing bine favours, and at one o'clock a Procession marched out on' the road to Shop, where he was met coming from Brougham-hall with his brother, to meet Mr. Brougham sat. upon the box of his carriage,' and was Ushered ink') , town 'preceded by the'eoloton of freeholders, with drums heating and colours flying. Being arrived at his commit tee room, he very soon presented himself at one of the windows, and was most lOudly hailed 't)y the immense multitude 'assembled below. 111 r. IlaounitsM then, se soon as he could obtain silence, pro ceeded to 'address the penple. ' • Parliament, be said, was again dissolved, and again were the e l ec t o r s of Westmoreland called upon to exercise their most va luable rights, and to present the interesting, spectacle of a people struggling in tht l defence of these rights againtt obstacles which would dishearten men engsged in a lees sacred cause. They 11111 to struggle with a haughty,. grasping aristocracy, which was sup ported by the whole patronage of Government, the influence of the Chinch, and the well-paid deiterity of the law.—(Applalise.) —lt had been said that our glorious exertions to liberate the county from a monopoly were no better tlyin wanton attempts upon its peace.—(A laugh.)--Such *Aimee came , well from those who- bed so often disturbed the peace of the county.

Ought they toe upbraid us with di s t ur bi ng its peace who themselves introduced stout young men into Kendall for purposes of riot and disorder, and who would have succeeded in those purposes if they had not encoun tered young men stouter than th e m se l ves ?—(Loud cheese.)--- , Was it not they who hired s troop of bludgeon ,men, and encamped them at Appleby, where they would most cer tainly have put the peace of the county in jeopardy, they had not had their bludgeons taken from them, an curled.; to the Gestic, where they were delivered over to men who really prevented a breach of the peace ?-4Applatise.)....... It was not, perhaps, hie (Mr. B.'e) Pieeet es he hed nut been intrusted with their interests during the last Session, to render up now au account of his trust. But as, from having analysed the poll of hi2o, he had discovered that a majority of the resident freeholders of Weatmorelend voted for him, he would state to, them w)iat his,opinions had been upon the leading topics whir occupied the attention Af Parliament during the last Senior For the lest two or three Sessions of Parliament the public quell., tions which more than all others occupied the attention 'of the I-louse of Commons were two—namely, - the - Corn Ques tion and the question of Catholic Emancipation. Upon the first of these ,he was decidedly of opinion that the laws relating to the importation of foreign corn in this country might •to be 'revised-,that the whole system o f th es e l aws ought to he repealed--and a new and better, system enacted in their stead. His view of time question was, that the people ought to be provided with 'a wholee ome and chea p I°°d ' and he at as fixed prices w possible.—(Loud clieers).—With respect to the, 'lost question, that of Catholic Emancipation, the m oo sens e" imputations had been made against the supporters of that measure. openly with lio ! ca lla: h i: l 7 o. o . f They had been WWI enemies to the Constitution, and ch arge d Ne 'wile n throwing p o o t l : it a i w mi are su _ P tb re a l t na th eY ey ji had t y h e, i t, charged him : w ish b e i n g a paret-- , (4Jangli)*—biar it was. pretty certs in they insinuated that, be icotilmtit• to bring over . the Pope of ,floine.--(Loud laughing :end,''cliegis)m.-They were well itWtre 010 all •stmiunch , p rotes t a nt/ deelieri Alma' th is- wen, who .was called Pope, was any other than a Bishop—the Bishop of Rome.

The Honourable Gentleman then retired with, his friends, and the crowd partially dispersed. The utmost order prevailed. At three o'clock Mr. Broughtni met a large party of his friends and supporters to dinner, by invitation, at the King's Arms inn ; Jacob Wakefield, E . eq. in the Chair. :As soon as the cloth was removed, and " the King," and " the Duke of York and the Army" drunk, The CHAIRMAN said, he had now to propose a toast which he was sere would be received in the manner becoming the claims which the high character of the object of it had upon the friends to the freedom of Westmoreland, and the generous appreciation which the gentlemenquesent he knew entertained of those claims. Ile then gave "Henry Brougham, Esq."—(Three times three, and loud applause.) Mr. BROUGHAM, in returning thanks, said, that however flattering so animated an expression of the good opinion of this company might be to him personally, yet he could not be either so 'blind to the real intention of it, or so selfish, as to assume that to him as an individual, which he knew was bestowed upon him only as an agent in the great cause of the freedom of this county. Before proceeding to enter upon the business which more immediately concerned their common cause, he begged to be allowed a few words in ex planation of the delay which had occurred in his, not presenting himself to the freeholders sooner. A delay had • certainly occur red, as from circumstances which it was unnecessary to detail, be had been obliged to make a circuit in coming from London to Westmoteland, but as his cause had less reference to him person ally, than to the principle with which it was connected, he flat tered himself that he had less to regret upon the score of delay, than he under other circumstances would. It had been said that many of their old friends had been shaken; but this was not true. There certainly had been a great accession of new voters. There was no doubt but that Lord Lowther would stand a contest for tile county, so long as be contended for two seats, but it was not until they were both put in danger that he would give up one of them. Defeat to their adversaries, he would not say would be disgrace, but to the. Blues it could •• bring no dishonour.—(Loud applause. )--The cause must he ultimately successful, and he as sured them that so far as he was concerned, he would try it again and again.—(Cheers.) The healths of Sir Jathes Grahath, Mr. Curwsn, and several other independent Members of Parliament, were then drank. Several toasts of local hut no general interest were also given, and pledged with all the joviality of an election-dinner. Mr. Brougham, whose health by no means seems restored, did not leave the room till en advanced hour in the evening, but there were some of the festive crew who prolonged their potatiumi till they were nearly surprised by the "peep o' day." HEREFORD COUNTY. The election for the county of Herefordshire took place on Fri day last, at the New shire Hall. About ten o'clock Sir John Cotterell arrived there, escorted by a large body of the freeholders on horseback : in a few minutes Mr. Robert Price arrived at the Hall, attended with similar honours. The Sheriff then shortly addressed the 'Freeholders, and re quested that any freeholder having observations to make respect ing the business of the day, might he beard without interruption. Colonel AinNEY in rising to propose Sir John Cotterell, remarked that no observation of his could add weight to the name of Cot terell, who had served them faithfully both in and out of the Senate House. His (Sir John's), constant residence in the county, the expenditure of a large fortune among them, and his well known. hospitality, gave him a powerful claim to their suffrages. The proposition being seconded by Mr.,Cocks, Mr. KNIGHT begged to propose Robert James Price, Esq. . Mr. L. CITAALTON said, that though he was only a small free holder, he had with considerable difficulty prevented a friend pro posing him as'a candidate, so far he had been in favour with the gentleman who had just been proposed. A report had gone abroad, that he was afraid to stand the contest.—no such thing— if the city of Hereford was blessed with a Corporation, yet the county was not ; and even if the city was corrupt enough to re turn the Candidate having the longest purse, yet he trusted that the freeholders of the county would not sell themselves. Mt. Knight within the last week proposed two gentlemen at Lud low, of quite contrary principles to the gentleman he had this day proposed.. His conduct strongly reminded him of the fable or "the Bat and the Weazel."—The weasel. happening to meet a poor hat, was shout to destroy it, saying that he did not like am not a moose," says the het, hut a bird, accordingly the hat was allowed to escape; in a short time after another weasel pounced upon the same bat, who cried aloud for mercy, which was refused' him, as this weasel had en antipathy to birds. " Oh," says the bat, " I'm not a bird ; look at my skin ;" and thus convinced the weasel of his error ; and the bird escaped a second time. • The conduct rimed by. Mr. Knight was precisely the lam :..at Ludlow he was a mouse, and here he appears aia bird. He begged to he understood that he made these observations from no unfriendly motive towards the gentlemen proposed as can didates ; all he wanted was to bring them back to the old road, and that he should see Sir John Cotter.% at Ludlow, the enemy instead of the supporter of corruption. During the speech of Mr. Charlton, considerable bustle arose in the Hall. Sir Hanford Jones appealed: to the Sheriff, as he considered Mr. C.'4 observations completely irrelevant. The Sheriff then rook a show of handl; awhile two candidates were elected without any further opposition. • In the evening the friendi of Mr. Price dined together lit the Town Mall. NORTHUNIBERLANI).—(From'a Correspondent:) The note of preparation goes merrily on. Flags, cockades, kr. are more than usually eonspicuou to day, an well Re carriages and other vehicles, decorated with the insignia of one or other of the four candidates. The white cockade (Mr. Beaumont's dis tinguishing favour) seems to bare a greater number of wearers, than any 'of the other three. This gentleman'. fine band of musi cian paraded the principal streets here to-day, in. their hill dress, or gala suit, and cut a very imposing appeer ance. Their dress is white, tastefully ornamented with silver ' fringe, X -costume bearing a strong resemblance , to that worn by sons' of the Imperial Austrian corps. The band comprises about thirty performers, all smart men,:-and prOficieats in music : they are accompanied by kettle-drums. A general opinion prevails, that the two Hon. Gentlemen, who were the vic tim at the County Meeting the other day, will prove so ultimately at Alnwick. High odds, we understand, ten to one, were bet to-day against Lord Howiek's return for Northumberland. In deed, his own party would seem to sanction this estimation of his Lordship's ehanee as he has already been returned for Winehelsea. Had Lord Ilow4 not Had from the field when . Mr.' Bell came forward last election, he would have now stood befOre the county better recommended. Th e game of t h r ift w ill, Inahe end, very likely prove costly enough. The Hon. Mr. Liddell has brought down from London several smart vans for the commodious Conveyance of his voters. Mr. Lid dell's committee in travelling to • Shields, having very hand some harness, and being drawn by four horses, they have a smart attractive appearance.' 'Notwithstanding what is previously stated, Mr. Bell's friends insist that that gentleman has u fair a chance of sitting for Northumberland as the Hon. heir of Ravens worth. It savours of a pleonasm, hut we must indulge in it to repeat our convic4lon; that, whoever may he the other represen(a tive, Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, Esq. must be one.—New castle-upon-Tyne, June 17.

PoRTSIIou Jutil 17.-This morning the Edward transport,. Lieut. Burney, arrived from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on the 29th of March. The Brazen, 28, Captain Willett, was th e only ship of war there. Three slave vessels, she had captured, were condemned to her. The Slaves had been put to immediate work, as, by a new system, commenced by the late lamented General Turner, and continued by - the present Acting Governor, M.Cauli y, they are now taught at once to earn their own sub sistence. One of these prizes is 96 feet long, and 226 tons bur then. She is to be sent to England, under the name of " The Black Beauty of Southampton." The Edward bad brought home the Master and Mate of the ship Malta, of Liverpool, for trial, on charge of Slaving. A prize, belonginf to the Athol, Which was supposed to have been lost, had arrive( at Sierra Leone, hari n g been 66 days on her passage from. Accra, during which she lost 75 slaves, part of her . cargo, and thcremainder, with the cr ew, were in great distress for provisions. The Athol, on her passage to the Cape of coi,a Hope, had captured a Brazilian vessel, from Badagry to Bahia, with 175 slaves on board; hut, having taken her in 5.20. South latitude, her Condemnation is doubtful. When the Edward left the coast, Commodore Bullen, in the Owen Glen dower, Was to leeward ; the Conflict and Leven were eurveyiK St. Ann's Shoal ; the Swinger had gone to Gambia ; the Red wing and Esk were in the Bights. The Commissioners, who had hitherto been on board the Brazen, were about to join Commodor e Britten, for the purpose of finishing, under his directions, thelahour of their investigation, which, it was supposed, would clone about August. On Thursday, the Russian corvette Enterprise, commanded hr Captain Kotzebue, arrived here, after three years' absence, duri n g,. which period she has been employed in explori n g the coast of North America, adjacent to the Russian Settlements, the Aleatii thin Archipelago, the Coast of Kamtachatka, and the See of Oehoisk, taking alio the range of the . South Sea Islands, visiting the Sandwich Island of Owyhee, since the burial of the King and Queen, by Lord Byron. That Island was tranquil and advani.fily in prosperity. The natives expressed themselves much grab with the attention bestowed on the rem ains of their late Kin which place b she _ Queen. The Enterprise touched at Manilla, quitted on the 23d of January , w hen the S p anish Settlers ad y of abandoned the idea of separating fr om the mother countrg ant Spein, from which a new Governor h ad recentl y arrived, with s reinforcement of European troops. She touched at St. Helen a s the 19th of for water, on about ten days, and then return to St. Petersburgh. yea Last evening, the Layton transport, Lieutenant Levitt, arrived Last from the Mauritius, with the head-quarters of the 56th Beg; ~__ commanded by Col. F. Barclay. She left the Mauritius inf, April. She will remain at Spithee 24 of April, in company with the Ohm, Lieutenant Burrhvood.d_ having also dieision of the same corps on board. The last 1, vision was to embark in about ten days, in the Southworth Lieut. Sanders, which ship is to touch at the Cape, to bring hu , rn . an t a on returned stores.
